Ever since I was a child I have had a facination for guns. It started with the plastic M-16's we used when playing Army
and moved up to firearms when my dad let me shoot his 16ga. Mosberg single shot equiped with a Poly choke and muzzle brake,
at the age of 11. On my 13th birthday I got my very own Marlin .22LR semiauto with the squirl engraved into the stock.
Well that was the beginning and I haven't stopped yet, I may have slowed down but I am still going.
Next came the Savage pump 12ga. followed by the Savage bolt action 30-06 topped with a Tasco 3x9-40 Trajectory range
finder. At this point in time I am now only 16.
My dad expressed an interest of me starting to reload my own ammo since I was shooting so much. Well, that started a
whole new aspect of the shooting sport for me.
I started with a RCBS reloader kit and have been adding to it ever since.
Now I can load in .222, .223, .244 Rem or 6mm, M1 Carbine, 30-06, .45 acp, .380 and even 12ga shot shells.
Here is a picture of a group shot my a friend of mine with a 6mm/.284 . He loaded these bullets himself and this was
his first attempt with this gun.
As far as my 6mm my best group was 7/8" at 200 yards with 70gr Serria hollow point match bullets. I cant remember
what powder or even how much at this time but in my loading note book I have that information. That brings up a point I would
like to express, if you are going do start reloading you should start a note book or some type of data entry device to keep
your information for future reference.
